As Shepherd argues that Bill 13 and the anti-DEI efforts of the UCP in general will have negative consequences for Black professionals in Alberta, UCP MLA Tany Yao tries to shut down debate by accusing Shepherd of calling the government racist.
Last night, in debate on a bill the UCP say is meant to protect free, even offensive, speech…
